Hidden Subscription
Presenting recurring billing arrangements in a way that conceals their long-term financial commitment. The subscription model is introduced late, ambiguously, or under the guise of a free or one-time offer.
Disguised Recurrence
Subscription terms are buried in fine print or only revealed after checkout.
Free Trial Trap
Users are enrolled into auto-renewing plans after a trial period, without clear advance warning or reminders.
Ambiguous Pricing Labels
Interfaces display a one-time cost while recurring charges are only disclosed in secondary text or footnotes.
